Season Information

REGISTRATION

All participants must first register with their home association and pay their appropriate registration fees.

Jerseys, Equipment and Spirit Wear

For the 26/27 season, all players will receive a new set of Home and Away Jerseys (10/12/15U) or a reversible practice/game jersey (8U).

A jersey try-on session will be schedule soon for ALL new and returning players to get properly sized. More information will be released soon about jersey number selection for first year 10U and new Spartacats players.

Additionally, players are strongly encouraged to wear royal blue gloves and helmets.

New game socks will be provided to all participants. Socks are paid for by the Spartacats Program.

Practice jerseys will be provided to players as needed at the beginning of the season. 

Pre-Season Warm Up Ice

Warm-up ice times, which will lead up to tryouts, are included in your registration fees. Warm-ups will include 4 hours of ice for each level, starting 2 weeks prior to tryouts. Dates & times are posted on the home page & on the main calendar if you'd like to subscribe!

Tryouts

Tryout dates for U10 & U12 will be posted on the Home page and emailed to registered participants as we approach the new season.

U15 team tryouts are still tentative pending both Simley & Eagan High School coaches meetings with their STP players. We will share dates when those meetings are scheduled. 

Number of teams and levels

Based on registration numbers, the committee will determine the number of teams and level placement for U10, U12 & U15 levels. Team roster sizes will be determined based on the number of players registered at each level.

Per District 8 and Minnesota Hockey rules, the Girls Coordinators will declare the levels in which those teams are placed (A, B1, B2) before each season. The committee will share the initial declarations made to District 8 in September, but they are subject to change based on the evaluators recommendations during tryouts.

Tournaments

Due to MN Hockey's rule of 35 maximum games per season, U10 will participate in three (3) tournaments, one of which will be out of town.  

U12 teams will participate in four (4) tournaments, at least one of which will be out-of-town.

U15 teams will participate in a minimum of (3) tournaments, at least one of which will be out-of-town.

Coaches

While we do have some very talented and passionate parent coaches, our goal for the Spartacats Girls Hockey Program is to gain more female coaches. This does not mean we will not accept parent coaches, but we may prioritize Head Coaching positions to paid volunteers if we're able to recruit them for our teams.

All coaches interested in coaching as a head coach, assistant coach and/or goalie coach must fill out the coaching application to be considered.
